Twitter Finally Lets You Share Team Accounts

If you’ve ever tried to share a Twitter account with your team, you probably already know it sucks.

You can share the password, but then you get that one guy who leaves the password on a post-it on his laptop lid and the account gets hacked. Or someone leaves, and now 15 people all need to learn the new password.

You can use a third-party solution, but then you’re trusting yet another third party to not go out of business, not get acquired and shut down, not go down during business hours, and, most notably, not be awful for its own reasons.

In the 10 years since Twitter’s launch, it’s never gotten around to building its own fix — until now.

Like a number of Twitter’s power-user-focused features, the new Team tool is built into TweetDeck as opposed to the more standard Twitter client.

Here’s how to start using it:

Download/update TweetDeck. The feature is rolling out today on the web/Chrome/Windows versions, leaving the Mac app out in the cold for now. (Going live without the Mac app being ready seems… not wise.)

Pick one account manager who knows the main password, which should now be secret to only them. If you’re already sharing your password with X dozens of teammates, you’ll need to change it or this is all mostly worthless.

Have the manager log into the account in TweetDeck, then have them…

Click “Accounts” in the navigation bar.

Tap your team’s account in the list

Add Team Members via the input box, then set their role. Contributors can tweet/retweet/delete tweets/follow and unfollow/etc. Admins can add/remove other users.

When someone leaves, have an admin remove them from the team list. Tada! No mass password change necessary.

One catch: all contributing users/admins must also be using TweetDeck.

Please submit your information.

Website Design is not a one-and-done enterprise.

Every website is designed for the same purpose: attract visitors, gently nudge them into qualified leads, and to nurture those leads into sales.From design and development, to content creation, social media interactions, graphics and videos, live event coverage and so on.

Your website is your first impression and the foundation of your inbound marketing strategy. An effective website will attract traffic, engage and educate visitors, and convert those visitors into leads, customers, and loyal fans of your business.

If website pages don't load quickly enough, visitors bounce to the next result on the SERP. If websites lack the information they're looking for, users lose interest.

The process has always been the same in hospitality when it comes to evaluating technology tools. Decide you may need something. Reach out and find a group of vendors you think may be able to do the job. Evaluate those vendors in terms of fit and price. Then make a vendor decision and spend the money hoping the business impact opportunity is real and if it is – you can figure out how to use the tool to go get it.

Hotels & Resorts have always faced the challenge of targeting the needs of a hotel guest for a place to relax at the end of a long business or travel day – and yet still be able to pull non-hotel guests into their bar/restaurant venues.
